The weather in February was quite complicated, on the already unpredictable weather in Ireland. I think it was the worst month since we arrived in Ireland. There were floods, the center of Cork became a river, literally. Some people even used kayaks. Of course this brought many losses, I saw many shops with the following sign: "Flood Damage Sale", discounts on items affected by floods.

We also visited some counties and saw a lot of destruction. In Limerick, The park in the city centre was closed because many trees had fallen and the city hall was still repairing everything. The scenario that most impressed us was the Killarney National Park. The destruction was really impressive there! Dozens of trees on the ground, many had been pulled by the roots, as if they were miniatures. The storm was impressive. Check out this tree:

As temperaturas foram bem baixas e muitas vezes negativas.Uma coisa importante é ficar atento não só à temperatura em si mas à sensação térmica, que normalmente é muito mais baixa. A gente gosta de checar este site aqui. Veja que logo abaixo da temperatura tem a RealFeel. Muitas vezes estamos com 8 graus, por exemplo, mas a sensação é de 0 grau ou até menos.E neste mês de março chega a primavera e o horário de verão, mas isso é tema para outro post.The temperatures were very low and often below zero.An important thing is to pay attention not only to the temperature itself but to the real feel, which is usually much lower. We like to check out this site here. See that just below the temperature there is the RealFeel. It is often at 8 degrees Celsius, for example, but the real feel is 0 degree Celsius or less.And on this month of March comes the spring and daylight savings, but these are the subjects for other posts.

A Quaresma, período de penitência e jejum para os católicos, começa amanhã na Ash Wednesday (Quarta-feira de Cinzas). Ovos, farinha, manteiga e leite eram produtos pouco usados nesses 40 dias de recolhimento, então para se preparar para o jejum foi criada a Pancake Tuesday ( que também tem outros nomes como a Fat Tuesday, Pancake Day ou Shrove Tuesday).Lent, a period of penance and fasting for Catholics, starts tomorrow on Ash Wednesday. Eggs, flour, butter and milk were products not much used in these 40 days of meditation, so to get prepared for the fasting was created the Pancake Tuesday (which also has other names such as Fat Tuesday, Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday).
